UTHOR'S PREFACE

HE Ordo Cantus Missae (Vatican, 1988) requires that all Mass Propers Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory, and Communion be drawn from the Graduale Romanum (Solesmes, 1979), just as the priests parts are found in the Missale Romanum and the Mass readings come from the Lectionary. However, based on the results of a 1968 survey1, the Consilium decided to revise Introit and Communion antiphons for Masses without music. As His Holiness, Pope Paul VI, explained in 1969:The text of the Graduale Romanum has not been changed as far as the music is concerned. However, for a better understanding, the responsorial psalm, which St. Augustine and St. Leo the Great often mention, has been restored, and the Introit and Communion antiphons have been adapted for Masses without singing.2

These revised Propers (Introit & Communion) are commonly called the Spoken Propers, since they are only used in Masses without music (a.k.a. read Masses). A place was found for these Spoken Propers inside the priests Missale Romanum, for ease of use by priests offering private Masses. The writers of the 1975 American adaptation to the General Instruction for the Roman Missal (GIRM) felt the need to stress that the spoken Propers printed in the Missal are only to be proclaimed if there is no singing:ENTRANCE CHANT: Only if none of the above alternatives is employed and there is no entrance song, is the antiphon in the Missal recited.3

Augustinus et S. Leo Magnus saepe commemorant, sive antiphonae ad introitum et ad Communionem in Missis lectis adhibendae, pro opportunitate, instaurata sunt.

COMMUNION CHANT: Only if none of the above alternatives is employed and there is no Communion song, is the antiphon in the Missal recited.4

Are composers allowed to set the Spoken Propers to music? In 2001, the American bishops began considering this question. With the publication of the 2011 GIRM, official permission was given, so composers in America are now free to compose melodies for the Spoken Propers, which have been newly translated by ICEL. However, those who choose to take advantage of this permission should keep in mind the following:A)The Spoken Propers were never meant to be sung. They were specifically revised with functionality for proclamation in mind.5 B) The United States is the only location to set the Spoken Propers alongside the Graduale Romanum texts. For instance, neither Great Britain nor Canada do this. C) The texts frequently lack the theological depth6 of the ancient Graduale texts, which are 1500+ years more ancient.

In view of these considerations, the present collection follows the explicit directives of the Second Vatican Council, setting only texts from the Graduale Romanum, with the same English Translation found in the 1990 Gregorian Missal of Solesmes (Imprimatur, 1989). Anyone who is confused regarding spoken and sung Propers is encouraged to consult the full documentation posted here: ccwatershed.org/Roman_Missal I would like to conclude with one technical point: Although our book is based upon the 1988 Ordo Cantus Missae (Vatican Press), very little was changed from the original 1970 version.

OR CATHOLIC PUBLISHERS

INCE the 1970s, many Catholic publishers have not been in compliance with clear directives from legitimate Church authorities, refusing to print the Gradual prayer in any of their publications. In the Reformed Rite of the Mass, the Gradual is a valid option to be sung after the First Reading. At this time, we urge all publishers to please consider following the directives of the Church. The Gradual (and all Mass Propers) must be printed in any books that will be used by the faithful. On 23 April 2009, the Bishops Committee on Divine Worship once again affirmed that all Mass propers (including the Offertory and Gradual) must be included in each participation aid and hymnal:4.In particular, from the approved liturgical books to the simplest participation aids, publications should provide the greatest possible diversity and options, as expected by the liturgical reform. No publication should limit, directly or indirectly, the breadth of choice open to the priest and other ministers, the leaders of song, parish and community worship committees, or others who participate in planning liturgical celebration. 37. The arrangement or selection of liturgical texts must not result in the suppression of alternatives and options for the congregation (or for the celebrant and other ministers, as applicable). 37b.The publisher does not have the authority to make unilateral selection of liturgical texts among the options available.

The English Translations used in this book come from the Gregorian Missal of Solesmes (Imprimatur, 1989). It is identical to the translations found in: (1)The Vatican II Hymnal (Corpus Christi Watershed) (2)The Simple English Propers (CMAA)
